Eggs can certainly be included in a heart-healthy diet, as the dietary cholesterol they contain has a much smaller impact on blood cholesterol than previously thought, while providing high-quality protein and essential nutrients such as choline.

This statement is solidly supported by modern research, notably a 2020 American Heart Association (AHA) scientific advisory, which confirms that one egg per day fits perfectly into a heart-healthy routine. A large meta-analysis of observational studies published in the BMJ in 2020 also supports that moderate egg consumption does not increase overall cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, the egg's richness in choline—a valuable nutrient for cellular balance that is often under-consumed—is indisputable. The only nuance concerns individuals who are highly sensitive to cholesterol or have specific metabolic profiles, for whom moderation remains suggested as a precaution. Finally, pairing eggs with fiber (beans, brown rice) as suggested here is an excellent strategy to optimize digestion and energy.
